I used to sell cars for a living and the issues you were having with your car as far as the dents and marks were 100% the sales manager giving you the run around but using the sales person to be the voice. I can’t tell you how many times my manager would have me tell the customer one thing and then he wouldn’t honor it then he would come in at the end and look like a hero. I work in the car business two years just to sharpen my sales skills and so I can write a book on the dark side of car sales. All in all, the sales manager is usually the person making your experience a bad one. Sales people have 0% control other than taking you on test drives and agreeing to numbers that the sales manager provides.

I really appreciate your honesty & exposing the dark side. I am on the hunt as of now & it's been very disheartening. I don't mean to sound "hippie" but I feel a person's "energy" almost 90% of the time. Every salesman I've spoken to personally has left me with that "bad feeling" I get.. like their intentions are not good. Can you tell me how I may find a specific model & trim myself??? I keep getting "baited" into thinking they've found the trim I'm looking for (without having to order) I then find out the truck is reserved or a buyer lined up (but wait there's more) ironically they offer me to come & settle for the closest option they have available or...order it😑 any advice for me?

wickedcabinboy it’s a long story I inspected the truck I wanted them they sold it in us and brought us this one that was supposed to be the same I HATE dealerships makes me want to buy a beater every 6 months and save that hassle

I just got a 2019 Ram Lone Star, And it has every feature under the sun, except 4x4. I Wanted that, however, I live in a hot part of texas and don't go off roading so no huge loss. But All in all This has been the best truck I have ever purchased!

I got the new 2019 Ram Warlock (w/Hemi) and I love driving it. I can’t wait to go to work just to drive it. Ram trucks are truly awesome.

I agree, cant wait to go to work to drive. Only options I don't have is moonroof and automatic rear window. Love the 4wd and the power it has. Drives great in Colorado.

Just a tip I always keep a glass cutter in all my glove boxes so if you get a chip in your windshield pull over as soon as you can and take the glass cutter and cut a circle around the chip so it will not crack. This will stop it from traveling across the wind shield saving you hundreds to replace. Then you can have the chip filled so it is hidden for around $50.00 vs several hundred. This really works I have do this to 50+ vehicles over the years.

@stevenp3176

I wish I had thought about that when I owned wranglers. The shape and thickness of the glass meant you always got chips and chips were a death sentence for those windshields.

I saw your truck and said, that's my truck!! I have the 2019 all black RAM Laramie. Have had mine for 4 months. On the auto unlock, I've not had any issues once I learned what locks it and what unlocks it. All a matter of hand and thumb location. On the GPS, I've had a different issue. Sometimes when I first drive off in the morning, it will show me out in the field next to the road I'm on. That auto corrects after a while and I'm back on the road, according to my GPS at least. I haven't had the issue of it taking me somewhere other than where I want to go. I have had that issue on my Harley, however. That GPS is a Garmin so you might be on to something there. One issue I have had was the backup camera will stay on when I start driving. I've found that if I punch up the backup camera on the big screen and then close it, it will go away and the GPS will come back on. As for the screen itself, yes it is freaking awesome. It's the nicest one I've ever had. When I have buddies ride with me, they comment on two things immediately. First is how much room there is in the cab Including the backseat. The second is the screen. They can't believe how big and clear it is. Now, all that said, I have to agree with the earlier comment about Tesla. My daughter has a Tesla Model 3 and her screen puts mine to shame. Of course that is all she has, no other gauges. Everything is on her screen. Loved your review.

stoncrop thank you there is more to come

One more tip. When you get a rock chip in your windshield to help prevent it from cracking before you use the glass cutter on the chip crack one of the door windows a 1/4 of a inch too keep from causing pressure when opening and closing the door until you do the scoring around the chip or chips.

I had a 2017 Big Horn that had some paint issues. I filled out a survey with complaints of the paint and they reached out to me. They actually paid to have my entire hood repainted. I would recommend that you contact FCA about the paint, they are very responsive. I have the same 2019 truck and I love it! The panoramic roof is awesome!

This video is so relatable, I got a rock chip on my black 2019 the first week. Before 10k miles my windshield cracked from top to bottom, I have only hand washed it and it has scratches all over. Glad I'm not the only one with these issues

I own a 2019 Laramie Ram 1500 and absolutely love it. I had zero paint chips and haven't had 1 single problem with the vehicle in my first year of owning it. I'm a first time truck owner and will be buying another Ram Limited in March. Amazing truck.

Thanks update video, thanks for posting it!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

For the salesman, I have learned that once the sale is made, they are basically done with you. Before the sale super responsive friendly and helpful. They will come in early and stay late for you. They will respond to text messages late at night or early in the morning. After the sale you should expect almost nothing. If you want something that could cost the dealership time or money you will be lucky to get a delayed text response. If you understand that, you will be more happy in the future. If possible, always make sure you do a good test drive and test everything before you buy, because once you buy, even if it’s a very legit concern, it will be very hard for you to get fixed by the dealership. I would have been easier to buy a different truck than fix something. Also never buy with the promise that they will fix something after you buy. This is my experience.

Jeff Hirata All very true! Unless you have a relationship with a dealer and dealership that you have bought vehicles multiple times from. I know that doesn’t happen with most people, but I’ve bought 4 vehicles from my specific dealership in the past 5 years and the reason my wife and I go back is because of how we’re treated before and after the sale. That I have to say has a lot to do with management and good employees. 👍

I feel for you. The first windshield crack in my 2015 Wrangler was at just less than 3K miles. I need the 4th one replaced now at 76K. Just part of owning a wrangler with the upright windshield. Trying to buy a 2020 Ram in this market now. Thanks for the video, great work.

Pretty accurate review. Nice job! I have the same tailgate light/latching problem and I have the factory installed bed liner. I don’t have the door unlock problem.

I'm very happy with the Ram GPS navigation system so far. Compared to our 2016 Subaru its excellent.

Just purchased the flame red bighorn and I absolutely love it. Mine does not have navigation but I can connect it to my phone and use the gps on it. You may want to do this in order to have the most updated maps.

Great review brother. I just bought a 2021 night edition. I love it more than my 2 previous 1500's. Black is so tough. A little tip, take your truck back to your friend with at the detail shop. Have him do a 2 step paint correction, and the have him do a ceramic coating. It will help prevent the paint from the rock chips, and the black paint will look like a custom paint job. Good luck with the rest of the truck life.

Keeping the Hammer down!

Thanks for this. Just starting my research for a new Ram. Your insights help! Have a 2007 V6 that has been amazing. Cosmetic stuff broke, but otherwise a solid, solid truck.

I own one for 9 months and I like the cooling heating seats and the 8 inch screen good suspension too 4x4 of course if u live in Florida

I have the same truck. I think stock wise the only thing I would change is having the ability to fold the mirrors using a button.

So as far as the tailgate issue with the linex, here's my fix. Open the tailgate, close it slowly and watch where it hits the rubber bumpers on each side (about half way down each side of the tailgate). Now hold the tailgate against them and mark the linex at the top and bottom of the rubber bumpers. Take a sharp utility knife and carve the linex on the edge from the top line you made to the bottom line. (About an inch and a half) being careful not to carve into the paint. You should have about a 3/8" flat on an angle when your done. It looks good, it's easy, and the tailgate closes like a dream again. Just did my 2020 Ram. Didn't like slamming it hard to close it.

Great overview of the 2019 Ram. Wish I had one! :) Another great video, Steve!

Regarding the tires: I own a 2016 RAM Big Horn, and it came with the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's. They lasted 65 K Kms. (About 45 K miles). Never had any trouble with them, and they seemed pretty decent in the rain and snow. I replaced them with Michelin Defender LTX M+S tires. They're a really good all-round tire, but just a note, they ride much firmer than the SR-A's did. So much so, that I might go back to a softer tire. They won't last as long as the Michelin's but I prefer a smoother ride. I'll have to wait 5 years for the Michelin's to wear out, now! LOL!

Your phone can interfere with the proximity unlock feature if it's anywhere near the key fob. I drive a few different vehicles and I've had this happen every so often with all of them.

With the key fob issue I have a dodge and it does it if the key fob is behind the phone I guess it won't go through the phone or interference. Only happens when phone is in same pocket

Trucks tend to come with fuel efficient tires good for summer but need AT tires asap

Man...sorry to hear about the bad experience you had with the salesman. I had the very same issue with my 22 Ram 1500 Diamond Black Night Edition. I bought mine from Castle Ram in Chesterton, IN and my salesman was great. They actually said it was due to transport and off loading the truck. they sent it to an outside body shop to have the scratches and chips repaired.

Yeah the Navigation is far from accurate on every Dodge I've seen. I recently bought a 2011 Ram Sport and traveled a couple of hours to pick it up. Tried to use the Nav to get back home and it didn't recognize some well known roads. Being so old, I wasn't able to get updates for it either. Not even paid updates. I do love that huge touch screen!

Also, I believe there is a personal "safety" feature which is to the effect of 'if the vehicle lock mechanism is LOCKED from the lock button on the interior of the door it should not immediately unlock from a signal from the key fob of keyless entry." When we got my wife's Town and Country, the keyless lock/key 'n go was described as making it impossible to lock your keys in the vehicle. Of course, my rock star wife locked her keys in the vehicle. A friend who is a Chrysler engineer revealed that there was a code design which prevented entry into the vehicle even with a valid key fob in proximity. Basically, it was: If valid key fob #1 is in the vehicle and recognized and the lock mechanism for the vehicle is activated on the interior of the vehicle, any other key fob cannot supercede #1's control {within whatever time period} and unlock the vehicle. His explanation was in the event of a personal emergency (think domestic battery), if #1 gets into the vehicle and locks it by pushing the button on the interior of the door handle, #2 cannot gain access and inflict harm. My experiments confirmed this to be the case. Try some variations and see what you get!

I have the tailgate problem with the stock linex

I picked my 19 up in the rain too. Didn’t notice the dents on the passenger door where the ram logo is. I can see rubber Looks like it was hit with another vehicles tires. Luckily they told me to just bring it up there and they would take care of it.

0:03 what a beautiful sight

Badass!! Never thought I’d own a Ram but here I am shopping for one. Locking and unlocking using the handle while the fob is in your pocket can be annoying. This happens on my Lexus RC so I assume it’s a fob thing.

I attend the new car show here in Los Angeles yearly. Every year I point out the flaws in the Dodge vehicles on display to my wife.

I love that Truck 😩

Did ram do anything to fix the exhaust manifold leak around 80k km or is it still the same motor and drive train as the 09 to 2018?

The engineblock is the same, the lifters, drivetrain and aux. Are designed new. If you take proper care of it it won't give you many headaches. If you trash it, you will suffer. Change the wheels and tires to different size, than change your differentials front and rear or you will fuck up your drivetrain.

I love my 21' RAM.

hopefully they wont stop you for cracks on windshield,one tough truck for sure

Nice Truck! Thanks for the info, I'm shopping F150 v8 vs Ram right now. Note, never buy a car in the rain or at night! I had a 2016 Jeep GC (bought new) that I found 2 paint chips on the dealer lot. Got it in writing that they would fix it before we signed.

@rocknroller1999 Why? are you brand bias? Because I am not. I'm looking for the truck that I like the most and fits my life the best.

I’m still enjoying mine 25k miles later!

Any update on this Ram 1500 and any major problems?

Nice video!

I can't figure out how to use projection mirroring with my 12" even when I have a USB plugged in..it wont seem to connect. Have you messed with yours yet?

@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA it's such an awesome feature just wish I could use it what's the point of having a flat screen and not being able to watch videos lol. If you do end up figuring out I would love to see that video!

Thanks bro..

Are you able to drive at a higher speed on 4WD auto? Like if you’re going 90 on the freeway are you able to take a high speed turn without any problem

Alex Nava you should be fine the auto 4x4 only really comes on when the rear starts to slip

Great review!!! So funny as I’m watching this I’m like damn you’re spot on with some of the stuff and I own a black 2013 ram 1500. I changed the tires because yeah they are garbage. I found myself always using 4x4. And my BIGGEST complaint is the paint. There has been times where I barely rubbed against my truck or bumped it and oh look new scratches out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous how easy it chips and scratches. I’ll never buy another black ram or dodge again. Going white next time. Awesome review and beautiful truck! That entertainment screen is so nice

Both my 2012 and 2018 Challenger key fob did the same thing.

Keep that Hammerdown

I'm usually an F-series buyer, but I got to say this is tempting me like my cousin!

The only F series personally I think it’s worth buying in terms of looks and overall package is a Raptor. Those are beautiful. But Ram is knocking it out of the park 👍🏽
